i have that monitor and its awesome. i think it could be brighter, but i like screens to be as bright as possible, so most people would probably think its bright enough. lso, a thing about 19" widescrens in general is that i think the resolution could be a little higher. its a great moniotr though. youll be happy with it.

Tell me real fast.. is there a way to adjust the brightness property right from the montier? some dumbass said there isnt, but I didnt think that was true.. Want to fill me in here?

And is there any backlight bleeding or blurring?

yes you can adjust the brightness from the monitor controls just like any other monitor

and by bacvklight bleeding or blurring do you mean like is it lighter around the edge of the screen? it is a little bit brighter around the edge if it is displaying black on the edge or any dark color but its not very bad
